COMBINED TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 8, 1919.

Application filed February 28, 1919. Serial No. 279,854.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK S. CONKLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Tables, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to cabinets especiall designed to be used for drying and ironing clothes-and it consists in the novel features herein described and claimed.

An object of the invention is to provide a cabinet of the character indicated in which is mounted a number of pivoted racks which may be folded in the cabinet when not in use. An ironing board is pivotally mounted in the cabinet and is provided at one end with a heating apparatus. The said board may be folded into'thecabinet when the device is not in use. Suitable props or legs are provided upon the board for holding the same in a horizontal position while in use.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the cabinet.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same showing the parts in closed position and Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view through the stove portion of the cabinet.

A head board 14 is mounted at the back wall of the body 1 and is provided at its opposite end portions with outstanding shelves .15 below which are slidably located drawers 16 adapted to be used for holding articles of any description. Spaced brackets 17 are mounted upon the head board 14 and a bumper 18 is mounted upon the said head board below and between the said brackets. A stove body 19 is pivotally mounted upon the brackets 17 and carries a gas burner 20. Open work plates 21 are positioned upon the body of the stove and may be located above the burner 20. The

stove body 19 is provided at one side with a laterally disposed flue 22 having openings 23 located at the upper outer ends thereof. A board 24 is attached at one end to the body 19 in the vicinity of the flue 22 and braces 25 are interposed between'the said board and the stove body 19. A gas service pipe 26 leads into the lower portion of the body 1 and is provided with a controlling valve 27. Pipe sections 28 are pivotally connected together and one of the said pipe sections is pivotally connected with the service pipe 26 and the other pipe section 28 is pivotally connected with the burner of the stove 19. The stove body 19 is provided at its rear side with a lug 29 which is adapted to en counter the bumper 18 when the stove body 19 is swung down to a horizontal position whereby the said stove body is held in a manner so that irons or other articles may be heated thereon. After the articles have been heated and when one of them is in use it may be placed upon the upper end of the flue 22 above the openings 23 and thus the said articles may be maintained at a desired degree of temperature while it is being used upon the board 24. Legs 30 are pivotally connected at one end with the stove body 19 and the said legs are provided with longitudinally disposed slots 31 having at their lower ends the laterally disposed extension 32. A prop member 33 is pivotally attached to the under side of the ironing board 24 and is provided with outstanding pins 34 adapted to move along the slots 31 and enter the extensions 32 thereof.

When the stove body 19 is swung down to a horizontal position the legs 30 may be .swung down in contact with the floor whereposition so that the board 24 may be used for ironing clothes. When the device is not in use the board 24 and the stove body 19 may be swung up toward the back of the body 1 and the free end. portion of the board 24 may be caught a -d secured under the hook 5 at the upper part of the back of the body 1. Also the legs 30 may be folded up against the under side of the board 24 and the prop member 33 may be then swun down in close relation to the side of the board 24. In the body 1, near the top and adjacent the back thereof is a transverse cleat 4, and above the cleat is a pivoted hook 5. The cleat supports the back member of a rack, the same includin transverse rods 6 and horizontally disposed rods 7. The up er member of the rack is indicated, for distinction by the numeral 9 and carries transverse rods. To the member 9-is pivotally secured an extension 11 also provided with transverse rods. Pivotend bifurcated to be received in one of the transverse rods 'that connect the outer vertical members of the rack; These members arevindicate d by' the numeral and are pivotally connected to the upper member 9, so that the member 11 rests thereon when the rack is in operativeposition. When the rack is not in use the same is folded in the body 1 to the rear of the board 24: and the said board, being engaged by the hook 5 retains the rack in collapsed position in the body. When the elements are folded in the body the open. face of the latter is closed by a suitable door disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

From the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it will be'seen that a cabinet especially adapted to be used for drying and ironing clothes is provided and may be conveniently used in places where space is limited, and when the device isnot in use the parts thereof may be folded together in compact that the improvement may be used for gen eral cooking purposes.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

In combination, a cabinet, a head board a bumper, a stove having lugs hingedly con nected upon said bracket at its rear end, a I

lug carried by said stove at its bottom and rear end adapted to engage said bumper rod whereby to be held in a horizontal po sition and against rear movement, a service pipe extending practically through the bottom of the cabinet under said head board, a controlling valve connected to the upper end of-said service pipe, a pipe pivotally coupled to the upper end of the said service pipe, a branch pipe pivotally coupled to said last named pipe at its outer end, a feed pipe projecting through the bottom of said stove to which is pivotally coupled said branch pipe, a longitudinal table board secured to said stove flush with its top surface and forming an extension thereof, a sectional support secured to said stove and board re spectively and adapted to hold the latter .m horizontal position with said stove, said sup port being foldable substantially in the same direction as the length of said board.

In testimony whereof I aflix-my signature.

FREDERICK S. CONKLIN.
